SCANG wins international competition

Over here, we’re big fans of the S.C. National Guard. It was great news to find out that the S.C. Air National Guard kicked ass in an international competition in Jordan. For the first time, a National Guard unit was selected to represent the United States. Stepping up was the 169th Fighter Wing out of McEntire Joint National Guard Base, which took its F-16 Falcons to the air and went to town.

The South Carolina unit won top honors for safely launching an air intercept mission and another for precision bombing runs.

They also scored tops in loading missiles and in overall maintenance.

F-16 pilots and crews from Jordan and Belgium also competed in the event.
